Let's not forget that tv.jw.org is ALL about the Governing Body. Yes, there will be streams from talks etc, all presented by "brothers". But the main showpiece broadcast will be presented by a Governing Body member. This is about their position in the minds of the R&F and about harnessing the long-forgotten cult-of-personality last seen in the JF Rutherford days.

TV.JW.org - Purpose?
by passwordprotected inthere's an interest point raised by stephen letts at around the 7 minute mark of the intro video;.
much of the equipment used to build the studio was made available by donation.
he twice mentions (once at the start of the video) the need for "support", which we can assume means donations.

Then he states that "many will be wondering why we're building this studio in Brooklyn when, in two years time - Jehovah willing, we'll be moving to Wallkill.
This belies that fact that the GB has no doubt that "Armageddon" isn't coming any day soon.
At the start of the video, and throughout the first 7 minutes, they bang on about it was made clear to them by Jehovah that this new video project had his blessing.
Therefore Jehovah can't be planning to launch Armageddon within the next 2 years, can he?
Anyway, I think right away we've got to the route of the purpose for this TV channel; donatations. But as has already been pointed out in other threads, the GB will slip up, just as Lett has done in the intro video, letting the R&F know that the end isn't quite as near as is promised...

TV.JW.Org - Expense?
by passwordprotected inthere's no doubt that the wtbts isn't sparing the hard-earned donations from the r&f on its latest trial of jw broadcasting.. this screenshot i took from the "behind-the-scenes" is just one of many examples of top-end tech gear being used in this endeavour.. .
why does this guy need harmankardon speakers when he's using cad software...and note the iphone.
this guy's a bethelite?.

The introduction from Stephen Lett says there will be music videos as part of the programming. They've gone totally Mormon now.

It seems like he's speaking slowly to control sudden vocal outbursts. Like this one...

Leaving the JWs, experiencing Christianity and finding freedom! (But it took awhile)
by im_free inthis is my first post here.. i was raised in "the truth", and am an ex-bethelite who worked in brooklyn for several years back in the 90's.
a few years after i left bethel, i started to become disillusioned after doing research about the society and reading crisis of conscience (i know..i wasn't supposed to do that lol).
i eventually stopped attending meetings and going out in service.

I'm out- Random thoughts on leaving as I look in the rear view mirror
by Skinnedsheep init is amazing to look back at three years and see the journey that we have taken.
i went from being an elder to fading completely in the course of those three years.
along the way i am happy to say that my lovely wife woke up and realized that the truth is nothing but a lie.

My Story: from JW Elder to Born Again Christian to Agnostic
by passwordprotected ini first posted here on 3rd june 2008. at the time i was an elder, appointed the previous october, i was 36 and i was a born-in.
at the time i'd become disillusioned with the society due to the governing body's letter explaining why the book study in private homes was being abolished.
april 2008 saw me start questioning this decision, privately of course, and this eventually led me to this site, to jwfacts and to many youtube videos, all of which began to errode my faith in the leaders of the organisation.. in july 2008, having discussed my doubts with my wife, i attended the district convention, deciding to give the society one last chance to convince me it was the truth.

@objectivetruth - the Bhagavad Gita is something I've read about, without reading it itself. I believe in a lot of the things I'm learning through yoga and meditation, about putting the "mind" in it's place. Our ears have evolved to listen outwards, yet we spend so much time listening inwards, to our internal chatter created in the mind. This chatter is all about the past and the future, neither of which are entirely relevant and instead creates anxiety and stress.
Yoga is about being in the moment, about focusing on what we're experiencing right now. This is a very tough exercise for most of us.
I'm reading "The Power of Now" with an open mind, and I'm relating to much of it.
